Fabrice Crivello, Ph.D.

Fabrice CRIVELLO, Ph.D., is Research Director at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). His works are at the interface between methodology in neuroimaging and research in cognitive neuroimaging and neuroepidemiology. Following university studies in signal and image processing, he joined the GIN in 1993. Within the SHFJ in Orsay, he obtained a Ph.D. in biological and medical engineering on the detection of cerebral activations with PET. At the Cyceron center in Caen, he completed a post-doctoral internship aiming at building a multi-scale and multi-modality cerebral imaging database. In 1998, he was recruited as a research officer at the CEA and obtained his authorization to conduct research in March 2006.

Since 2011 he has been assigned to Bordeaux, where, he and the GIN, have joined the IMN in 2016. His research is structured along two complementary axes. The first concerns the development, implementation and distribution of automated procedures dedicated to the extraction of structural cerebral phenotypes. The second one concerns the study of these phenotypes in the context of the exploitation of large cerebral imaging cohorts in order to : 1°) characterize cerebral anatomical asymmetries, their factors of variability and their genetic determinant; 2°) map the maturation and aging of cerebral anatomy.
